it absolutely is censorship when it's directed by the government.
kill it, or make them provide the same level of content as they do in china
the whole tiktok algo is trash over here. they dont promote STEM like they do in China, it's purpose is literally mind warfare against the kids. if they can influence them to pursue trivial shyt, they'll spend their time trying to go viral instead of improving theirselves. China has a legit plan for this shyt, fighting a war without shooting weapons
tiktok is like killing 3 birds with one stone. double-sided double-edged sword
so what!!!
if you want stem content go look for it and they'll starting recommending it to you.
so because users aren't initially spoon fed content you approve of mandated by government regulation, it should be banned?
theres tons of STEM related videos on tiktok

TikTok CEO expects to defeat US ban: 'We aren't going anywhere'

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - TikTok's chief executive said on Wednesday the social media company expects to win a legal challenge to block legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden that he said would ban its popular short video app used by 170 million Americans.
"Rest assured - we aren't going anywhere," CEO Shou Zi Chew said in a video posted moments after Biden signed the bill that gives China-based ByteDance 270 days to divest TikTok's U.S. assets or face a ban. "The facts and the Constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again."
Biden's signing sets a Jan. 19 deadline for a sale - one day before his term is set to expire - but he could extend the deadline by three months if he determines ByteDance is making progress. Biden is seeking a second term against former President Donald Trump.
"We don't want to see a ban," White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday. "This is about PRC ownership," she added, referring to the People's Republic of China.
In 2020, Trump was blocked by the courts in his bid to ban TikTok and Chinese-owned WeChat, a unit of Tencent (0700.HK), opens new tab, in the United States. Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, has reversed course and said on Monday that Biden was "pushing" for a ban on TikTok and would be the one responsible if a ban were imposed, urging voters to take notice.
"Make no mistake - this is a ban on TikTok," Chew said, emphasizing that TikTok would continue to operate as the company challenges the restrictions.
Many experts question if any potential buyer has the financial resources to buy TikTok and if China and U.S. government agencies would approve a sale.
Driven by widespread worries among U.S. lawmakers that China could access Americans' data or surveil them with the app, the bill was overwhelmingly passed late on Tuesday by the U.S. Senate. The U.S. House of Representatives approved it on Saturday.
The four-year battle over TikTok is a significant front in a war over the internet and technology between Washington and Beijing. Last week, Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab said China had ordered it to remove Meta Platforms' (META.O), opens new tab WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China over Chinese national security concerns.
TikTok is set to challenge the bill on First Amendment grounds and TikTok users are expected to again take legal action. A U.S. judge in Montana in November blocked a state ban on TikTok, citing free-speech grounds.
The American Civil Liberties Union said banning or requiring divestiture of TikTok would "set an alarming global precedent for excessive government control over social media platforms."
However, the new legislation is likely to give the Biden administration a stronger legal footing to ban TikTok if ByteDance fails to divest the app, experts say.
If ByteDance failed to divest TikTok, app stores operated by Apple, Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google and others could not legally offer TikTok or provide Web hosting services to ByteDance-controlled applications or TikTok's website.
Senator Laphonza Butler, a California Democrat, urged the White House to consider the fate of 8,000 U.S. employees of TikTok, many of whom are in New York or California.
"We must acknowledge the impact on TikTok workers, and our local economies, as we determine a path forward," Butler told Biden in a letter.
The bill would also give the White House new tools to ban or force the sale of other foreign-owned apps it deems to be security threats.
Democratic Senator Ron Wyden said he was concerned the bill "provides broad authority that could be abused by a future administration to violate Americans' First Amendment rights."
Biden's re-election campaign plans to continue using TikTok, a campaign official said on Wednesday. Trump's campaign has not joined TikTok.
Biden signed legislation in late 2022 that barred U.S. government employees from using TikTok on government phones.

I'm making money on tik Tok I love the business model of tik Tok shop
Fukk Biden
Not just that but it's the only social media app that we are able to exchange information with people all around the world and it is not censored.
A lot of information has been shared and alot of people are waking up due to how tik Tok is allowing info sharing and that's the real reason they want to shut it down
Facebook and IG are already compromised and FBI/CIA assets

all you that agree to this ban would probably be down with the coli forums being banned as well 
and i dont even use tik tok
and i dont even use tik tok
They definitely will keep this Tiktok narrative going for awhile, especially because it's so closely tied with Gaza.
it ain't going away before the election. Especially not with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and MAGA.
This generation is outright loud. Insanely loud and will keep this one alive.
Democrats had a slam dunk election this time last year now they're seriously at risk
They legit blew a 4-0 lead. They need to start yelling about the potential threat from Project 2025 every single time we see them on TV from here on out.
I'm legit baffled by how bad Democratic Leadership got outsmarted this bad by Republicans.
Then again, Democrats don't have anyone close to the intellect/mastermind of a Thomas Massie on their team either. We need better for local voting. Like we can't find a single legit Caltech/MIT STEM grad to put in the Democratic party? European government once had Isaac Newton, Singapore's current leader is famous for an algorithm, we used to have people like Benjamin Franklin in Congress, etc. What are we doing here?
You were so close to getting it here, and then...
Blackpilled in one post, I love it. How's it feel to remove the blindfold, brother?

I got concepts of a plan.
Why would the cocksuckers not create a separate bill specifically for the banning of tictoc or Chinese apps?
I don’t even have tictoc but you do what your people want. I guess our lords know best.
If people want the Chinese to spy on them, block free speech about them, or not allow certain news, let them tuck their heads in the sand.
FEDs are reaching and the Supreme Court won’t hold this up.
If you don’t vote for Ukraine and Israel aid, you aren’t American.

This is why the FEDs may uphold this law. 75% of people under 45 get their news outside of TV/new papers.
Yet, his campaign team still uses Tiktok for outreach to young voters. If I'm Bytedance I'll order Tiktok to reduce engagement to all accounts belonging to Biden's team and Democrats and put videos encouraging young people not to vote to everyone's timeline as a fukk you to Biden.
Tictoc has the power to shape what news you see.
You can understand why the FEDs would want to ban it. If people allow themselves to be influenced by what they see on tictoc, we are damned.
